INFORMATION AND APPLICABILITY:
WESTINGHOUSE LIGHTING CORPORATION BELIEVES THAT UNDER THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) HAZARDS COMMUNICATIONS STANDARD,
A LAMP (LIGHT BULB) IS EXEMPTED AS AN "ARTICLE" SO IT DOES NOT REQUIRE AN
MSDS. THE ORIGINAL OSHA STANDARD DEFINED AN ARTICLE AS SOMETHING THAT:
1) IS FORMED TO A SPECIFIC SHAPE AND DESIGN 2) HAS END USE FUNCTIONS
DEPENDENT UPON ITS SHAPE AND DESIGN, AND 3) DOES NOT RELEASE OR OTHERWISE
RESULT IN AN EXPOSURE TO A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL UNDER NORMAL
CONDITIONS OF USE.

IN FEBRUARY, 1994, OSHA AMENDED THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD AND
MODIFIED PART 3 OF THE ABOVE TO READ:
3) DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES OF A HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL
UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE. STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS ALSO CONTAIN
SIMILAR EXEMPTIONS FOR SUCH ARTICLES.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE NOT RELEASED DURING NORMAL USE AND OPERATION OF
THESE LAMPS.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURE:
USE A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS TO PREVENT INHALATION OF DUST
AND/OR FUMES THAT MAY BE GENERATED FROM BROKEN LAMPS DURING FIREFIGHTING
ACTIVITIES.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
WHEN EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURE, TOXIC FUMES MAY BE RELEASED FROM BROKEN
LAMPS.

REACTIVITY DATA

STABILITY: LAMP IS STABLE.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS

INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: NONE FOR INTACT LAMPS

HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION PRODUCTS: WILL NOT OCCUR.

HEALTH CONCERNS:
THERE ARE NO KNOWN HEALTH HAZARDS FROM EXPOSURE TO LAMPS THAT ARE INTACT.
NO ADVERSE EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM OCCASIONAL EXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS.
AS A MATTER OF GOOD PRACTICE, AVOID PROLONGED OR FREQUENT EXPOSURE TO
BROKEN LAMPS UNLESS THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION. THE MAJOR HAZARD FROM
BROKEN LAMPS IS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING CUT BY THE BROKEN GLASS.

EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE TO BROKEN LAMPS BY INHALATION, INGESTION, OR
CONTACT (SKIN OR EYE):

HYDROGEN BROMIDE:
SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN BROMIDE MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES,
NOSE AND THROAT. IT WILL CAUSE A BURN WHEN A SOLUTION IS SPLASHED ONTO SKIN
OR INTO EYES. REPEATED OR PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HYDROGEN BROMIDE MAY CAUSE
IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND THROAT WITH MUCOUS PRODUCTION AND INDIGESTION.

METHYL BROMIDE:
SHORT-TERM EXPOSURE TO METHYL BROMIDE MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, DIZZINESS,
NAUSEA, VOMITING, BLURRED VISION, SLURRED SPEECH, AND CONVULSIONS. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS MAY ALSO CAUSE UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS MAY ALSO CAUSE LUNG IRRITATION RESULTING IN CONGESTION WITH
COUGHING, CHEST PAINS, AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH; KIDNEY DAMAGE IS ALSO
POSSIBLE. LUNG EFFECTS MAY BE DELAYED IN ONSET. PROLONGED OR REPEATED
EXPOSURE TO METHYL BROMIDE MAY CAUSE A VARIETY OF SYMPTOMS DUE TO INJURY TO
THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM; INCLUDING VISUAL DISTURBANCES, SLURRED SPEECH,
NUMBNESS OF LIMBS, CONFUSION, SHAKING, AND UNCONSCIOUSNESS.

IF LAMPS ARE BROKEN, VENTILATE AREA WHERE BREAKAGE OCCURRED. CLEAN-UP BY
VACUUMING OR OTHER METHOD THAT AVOIDS DUST GENERATION. TAKE USUAL
PRECAUTIONS FOR COLLECTION OF BROKEN GLASS. PLACE MATERIALS IN CLOSED
CONTAINERS TO AVOID GENERATING DUST.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WASTE GENERATOR TO ENSURE PROPER
CLASSIFICATION OF WASTE PRODUCTS. TO THAT END, TCLP TESTS SHOULD BE
CONDUCTED ON ALL WASTE PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, TO DETERMINE THE
ULTIMATE DISPOSITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND
LOCAL REGULATIONS.

CONTROL MEASURES

VENTILATION:
USE ADEQUATE GENERAL AND LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO MAINTAIN EXPOSURE
LEVELS BELOW THE PEL OR TLV LIMITS. IF SUCH VENTILATION IS UNAVAILABLE,
USE RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED BELOW.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF AIRBORNE DUST CONCENTRATIONS
EXCEED THE PERTINENT PEL OR TLV LIMITS. ALL APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS SET
FORTH IN 29 CFR 1910.134 SHOULD BE MET.
